Hardware as in all the nuts & bolts?

And do you have four crossbars on your roof? I've only got two... Maybe I'll have to pick up some scrap ones to add sturdiness

Yes I added the other two cross bars for more support for when I load the rack. I plan on having alot of stuff up there so I wanted all the support I could get. And yes the hardware that comes with it ti mount it isn't the best. But that's an easy fix with a trip to the harfware store

I've got a yakama rack with the extention. I picked it up of Craigslist for 50 bucks and got the extention for an other 50 at rack attack open box.

I was looking at these racks after I saw your pic. I do not see any spare tire attachment and was wondering if you knew of anything? Or just use a couple ratchet straps?

Thanks!

I use a threaded J hook with a wing nut on top through one of the lug holes. The hook is attached to one the cross bars underneath.

This.

There isn't much mounting options but all you need to do is get a little creative. There is plenty to mount to. I'm taking the wind fairing off to weld light tabs to it for example.. M
